What an absolute pleasure it was to meet Kelly Hinkle, The Downeast Cowboy, this morning!
I learned so much about all the things he has going on. Lobster fisherman, wild seaweed grower, blueberry farmer, author, AND Maine sea salt maker. Does this man ever sit down? I needed a nap just thinking about how busy he is! š
My favorite part was seeing his face light up as he talked about visiting rural Maine schools to read his childrenās books to the kids. You can hear the passion in his voice, and I love meeting people who are so invested in what they do and in their communities.
Iām excited to share that you can now find Eastern Edge Sea Salt at Ruby on the Hill! Itās always fun to bring another Maine maker into the mix, especially one with such a great story behind his products.
Come by, check it out, and support another hardworking Maine small business!

Cash is preferred, though all forms of payment are accepted. Located at 294 Merrill Hill Road in Hebron. Call or text (833) 656-7868 with any questions.
